<p>MGM Holdings Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Gary Barber has been fired, the company's board announced Monday night. MGM's board issued a statement Monday night saying it has "initiated a CEO transition" and has begun a search for its next chief executive. The board did not explain why Barber had been ousted. He had led MGM for eight years, and he received a contract extension through 2022 in October. MGM is the parent company of iconic Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In the statement, the MGM board thanked Barber for his contributions and said "Now is the right time to enable the next generation of leadership who can help drive the creativity, collaboration and partnership needed to continue the company's positive trajectory."

<p>President Donald Trump is set to impose $60 billion in annual tariffs against China by Friday, the Washington Post reported Monday. That amount is roughly double what senior aides had originally proposed, the Post reported. The levies would apply to more than 100 products that were developed by stolen American intellectual property, the Post said. China is the biggest trade partner of the U.S., and the tariffs may spark retaliatory measures by the Chinese government.</p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>Facebook Inc. chief information security officer Alex Stamos is leaving the company in August after disagreements within the company about how it should handle spreading disinformation, according to a New York Times report late Monday. The Times, citing unnamed current and former employees briefed on the matter, said that Stamos had been advocating that Facebook investigate and disclose the Russia-backed activity on the platform, but other executives such as Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg were dismayed by the suggestion. Stamos' day-to-day responsibilities were reassigned in December, but he will stay at the company until August to oversee the transition, the Times reported. After the Times published its story, Stamos tweeted that he was still "fully engaged with my work at Facebook. It's true that my role did change. I'm currently spending more time exploring emerging security risks and working on election security." Facebook stock is down 1% in late trading, after closing down 6.8% to $172.56 on Monday. Facebook stock is down 1.7% this year, as the S&P 500 index has gained 2.9%.</p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>Facebook Inc. has shed about $36 billion in market value since Friday as shares of the social-media giant skidded lower. Facebook's stock closed 7.9% on Monday, putting the Menlo Park, Calif.-based technology giant marked its worst daily drop since March 26, 2014, with that downturn equating to a $36.4 billion loss in market value, from its value of $537.67 billion at Friday's close, according to FactSet data. The social network has come under firepegged to how it has managed users’ information, after the company announced that a firm with ties to the 2016 Trump campaign improperly kept data for years despite saying it had destroyed those records. Facebook's decline was weighing on the broader market by virtue of its size and the company's influence on sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day off 335 points, or 1.4%, at 24,610, while the S&P 500 index finished down 1.4% at 2,712, with technology shares suffering the worst daily decline among the broad-market benchmark's 11 sectors.

<p>Shares of Facebook Inc. posted their worst daily drop in about four years amid concerns about how the social-media giant managed user data. The company's shares finished down about 6.8% on Monday at $172.56, with the stock logging its steepest one-day decline since March 26, 2014, according to FactSet data. U.S. and British lawmakers slammed Facebook over the weekend for not providing more information about how the data firm, Cambridge Analytica, came to access information about potentially tens of millions of the social network's members without their explicit permission around the time of the 2016 presidential election. Selling in Facebook was weighing on the broader technology sector . Among other social-media companies, Twitter Inc. fell 0.6% while Snap Inc. shares were down 2.5%. Shares of Facebook turned negative for the year, down 2.2%, compared with the Dow Jones Industrial Average which also was down 0.4% for the first three months of 2018. The Dow closed 335 points, or 1.4%, at 24,610, the S&P 500 index finished down 1.4% at 2,712, but up 1.5% year to date. The technology laden Nasdaq Composite Index , however, ended the session 1.8% lower at 7,312, enduring the biggest fall on the day from the pressure in tech names. For the year, the benchmark was up 6.4%. Because Facebook boasts a market value of more than $500 billion it can influence many market-capitalization-weighted indexes, dragging them higher or lower. </p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled on Monday, erasing its year-to-date gain, pushing the blue-chip indicator negative for 2018. The Dow declined 335 points, or 1.4%, at 24,610, for a decline in the first three months of the year of about 0.4%. Any close above 24,719.22, the average's close for 2017, according to FactSet data, would push it into positive territory. The S&P 500 index, meanwhile, closed 1.4% at 2,712, while the Nasdaq Composite Index wrapped 1.8% lower at 7,344. All three benchmarks ended off their lows of the session, but weighed by selling in technology shares, amid a data scandal tied to how Facebook Inc. has managed user information during the 2016 presidential campaign. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are both positive for the year, with the S&P 500 up 1.5% so far this year and the Nasdaq boasting a return of 6.4%. </p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>Facebook Inc. said Monday that it has hired the digital forensics firm Stroz Friedberg LLC to conduct an audit of Cambridge Analytica's systems, following the improper handling of data related to about 50 million Facebook members. Facebook stock is down 7% in late afternoon trading. Facebook hired Stroz to investigate the improperly handled data after the company admitted late Friday that Cambridge acquired it from a personality prediction app in 2015, which was shared with the political consulting firm, Cambridge. One of the men involved in the improperly handled data, Christopher Wylie, has declined to allow the Stroz investigators to check his systems. The researcher who created the personality-prediction app, Aleksandr Kogan has agreed to give the Stroz investigators access to his systems.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 336 points, or 1.4%, to 24,611. With the day's drop, the blue-chip average turned negative for 2018. The S&P 500 shed 39 points, or 1.4%, to 2,712. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 138 points to 7,344, a decline of 1.8%. The Nasdaq saw outsize weakness due to technology shares; the sector fell 2.1% in its biggest drop since Feb. 8. Facebook led the sector lower after, facing heavy selling pressure over how it manages third-party access to its users' information, after saying a firm with ties to the 2016 Trump campaign improperly kept member data for years despite saying it had destroyed those records. The stock fell 6.8% in its biggest one-day drop since March 2014. The day's losses were widespread, with all 11 of the primary S&P 500 sectors ending down on the day and 29 of the 30 Dow components ending in the red. </p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>Shares of Zscaler Inc. are down 17.6% in their second day of trading Monday, after more than doubling on Friday. Zscaler's initial public offering priced at $16, and the stock closed at $33 on Friday. Fellow unicorn Dropbox Inc. is expected to go public as well later this week. Though much of the tech sector is down in Monday trading due to concerns about Facebook Inc. , the far sharper decline in Zscaler's stock price speaks to the volatility of recent IPOs. The cloud-based security company has seen 5.1 million shares trade hands in Monday's session. Shares of other relatively recent big tech IPOs are down sharply during the session as well, with Stitch Fix Inc.'s stock off 6.5% and Roku Inc.'s stock down 6.9%. The S&P 500 has fallen 1.7% and the Nasdaq Composite Index is off 2.2%. </p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>U.S. oil futures fell Monday, giving back nearly all of last week's gain as prices tracked a drop in the stock market. Analysts said, however, that the potential for supply disruptions amid tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran limited losses for oil, along with sliding crude production in Venezuela. April West Texas Intermediate crude fell 28 cents, or 0.5%, to settle at $62.06 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It had gained 0.5%, or 30 cents, a barrel last week after posting a rise of 1.9% on Friday.</p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

After closing at $14.02 on March 1, which was the lowest close since July 6, 2010, the stock rallied as much as 7.7% to a five-week closing high of $15.10 on March 12. The stock was last at $14.01, putting it on track for the lowest close in over 7 1/2 years.

<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average was trading down by more than 400 points Monday afternoon, heading for its steepest drop since Feb. 8, but selling is relatively calm, according to one measure of market internals. The so-called Arms Index, a volume-weighted breadth measure that usually rises above 1.000 when stock market falls, as sellers of declining stocks tend to be more aggressive than buyers of advancing stocks, rose to just 1.508 for the NYSE. Some market technicians feel a rise above 2.000 suggests panic-like selling. The number of declining stocks outnumbered advancers at 2,495 to 398, or by a 7.0-to-1 margin, at last check. Most recently, the Dow was off 475 points, or 1.9%, at 24,475. It was down by as many as 493 points. The S&P 500 index was down 2% at 2,697, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was trading 2.5% lower at 7,297. Stock benchmarks were under pressure on Monday on the heels of a data scandal tied to how Facebook Inc. has managed user information during the 2016 presidential campaign. </p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>The Nasdaq-100 fell broadly on Monday, with only one of the index's components in positive territory amid a sharp selloff driven by weakness in Facebook. The index lost 2.6% in its biggest one-day drop since Feb. 8. Of the Nasdaq 100's components, which is dominated by large-capitalization technology and internet stocks, only Ross Stores Inc. was higher on the day, up 0.2%. Facebook was the biggest decliner by far, shedding 6.3% and on track for its worst session in years. The stock came under heavy selling pressure over how it manages third-party access to its users' information, after saying a firm with ties to the 2016 Trump campaign improperly kept member data for years despite saying it had destroyed those records.

<p>RBC analyst Amit Daryanani penned an upbeat note about Apple Inc.'s services business on Monday, writing that he believes investors preoccupied with iPhone unit sales aren't paying enough attention to Apple's ability to generate revenue from current users. Daryanani thinks that growth in the services segment is "largely independent of device cycles," and he believes that this portion of Apple's business would warrant a higher multiple than the hardware side of the company. As such, he thinks Apple could command a higher valuation if services became a greater portion of overall revenue. "While early, we think services will grow into an important part of Apple's strategy, driving investments, determining future product roadmap and perhaps M&A," he wrote. As for M&A, Daryanani sees little possibility of a large deal but says Apple could pay for "quality content either organically or inorganically." The company has expressed interest in original content as part of its strategy to drive more users to Apple Music and increase the stickiness of the Apple ecosystem. Daryanani also thinks Apple would benefit from scaling its iCloud storage program for businesses and schools. Apple shares are down 2% in midday trading Monday but up 25% over the past 12 months, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 17%. </p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>A pair of exchange-traded products that offer leveraged exposure to a group of popular large-capitalization internet and technology companies saw heavy trading and sharp moves on Monday, as Facebook's stock suffered one of its worst days in years. The BMO REX MicroSectors FANG+ Index 3X Leveraged ETN sank 11% and traded on heavier-than-average volume. The exchange-traded note offers triple-leveraged exposure to an index of 10 stocks, returning 300% of that index's daily move. The index is geared toward the so-called 'FAANG' group of stocks, which refers to Facebook , Amazon , Apple , Netflix , and Google-parent Alphabet . All those stocks were lower on Monday, dropping at least 2%, with Alphabet down 3.7%. The biggest losses were in Facebook, however; the social-media giant sank 6.5% as it came under heavy criticism for how it has managed user data. The BMO REX MicroSectors FANG+ Index -3X Inverse Leveraged ETN rallied 10% on Monday; the note is designed to rise when the underlying components fall. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.7% while the S&P 500 lost 1.8% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 2.3%.</p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>The Cboe Volatility index jumped on Monday, spiking amid a broad selloff in the U.S. equity market that was largely attributable to a sharp drop in shares of Facebook. The VIX gained 38%, or 6 points, to 21.82, a level that is above its long-term average of 20. The jump came as stocks declined broadly; the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.8% while the S&P 500 lost 1.9% and the Nasdaq Composite Index shed 2.5%. The day's weakness was largely due to Facebook , which dropped 7% and was on track for its biggest one-day percentage decline since September 2012. The stock came under heavy selling pressure over how it manages third-party access to its users' information, after saying a firm with ties to the 2016 Trump campaign improperly kept member data for years despite saying it had destroyed those records. While technology was the biggest decliner on the day, losing 2.8%, the day's losses were broad. All 11 of the primary S&P 500 sectors were lower on the day, as were all 30 Dow components. The VIX is up nearly 100% thus far in 2018, although it has seen sharp fluctuations over that period. Many of the moves have come on questions over whether inflation is returning to the market, and whether the Federal Reserve could become more aggressive in raising interest rates to combat such a scenario.</p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>U.S. stocks fell broadly on Monday, with major indexes poised for their biggest one-day drop in more than a month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.8%, on track for its biggest one-day percentage drop since Feb. 8. The day's losses were widespread; not only were all 11 of the primary S&P 500 sectors down on the day, but so were all 30 Dow components. Leading the decline, on a percentage basis, was Caterpillar Inc. , which fell 3.3%. Among other big decliners, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lost 2.7% while Johnson & Johnson was off 2.2%. For the broad market, the day's losses were driven by Facebook Inc. , which sank 7%, on track for its worst session in years. The stock came under heavy selling pressure over how it manages third-party access to its users' information, after saying a firm with ties to the 2016 Trump campaign improperly kept member data for years despite saying it had destroyed those records. While Facebook isn't a Dow component, the decline pressured technology stocks broadly; Cisco Systems fell 2.2% while Microsoft Corp. lost 2.7%. Apple Inc. fell 2.1%. Relatively speaking, the best performer on the day was Coca-Cola Co., which fell less than 0.1%. Separately, the S&P 500 fell 1.8% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 2.4%.</p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>A sharp drop in technology stocks on Monday was threatening to push the Nasdaq Composite Index beneath a closely watched short-term trend line. The Nasdaq was off 2.6% in recent trade at 7,286, with a drop below its 50-day moving average at 7,283.90, providing a bearish signal for chart watchers. Market technicians follow moving averages to help assess bearish and bullish momentum in an asset. Among its benchmarks peers, Nasdaq has been an outperformer, up 5.9% so far in 2018, compared with the Dow Jones Industrial Average which had slipped into negative territory so far this year, due to Monday's selling. The S&P 500 index also boasted a narrowly positive, year-to-date return, up 1.4%. All three benchmarks were under pressure amid a broad selloff in technology stocks, partly powered by concerns over how Facebook Inc. managed user information during the 2016 presidential campaign. </p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>Shares of Facebook on Monday tumbled below a closely followed long-term trend line, which some market technicians may view as a bearish signal. Facebook Inc.'s shares were down 7.2% in midday trade, putting it on pace for its worst single-session decline since September 2012, but also threatening to push the social-network giant's shares below its 200-day moving average at $172.55, according to FactSet data. Most recently, Facebook was trading at $171.74. Market technicians tend to watch moving averages to help gauge bullish and bearish sentiment in an asset. The decline in the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company came as The company's shares were on track to post the worst one-day decline since Sept. 24, 2012, according to FactSet data. U.S. and British lawmakers slammed Facebook over the weekend for not providing more information about how the data firm, Cambridge Analytica, came to access information about potentially tens of millions of the social network's members without their explicit permission around the time of the 2016 presidential election, which was sparking a wave of selling in the company, putting pressure on the broader market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 313 points, or 1.3%, at 24,628, the S&P 500 index retreated 1.5% at 2,710, while the technology-focused Nasdaq Composite Index was down 2.3% at 7,311. </p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>Apple Inc. shares are down 1.2% in Monday morning trading after Instinet analyst Jeffrey Kvaal lowered his iPhone unit sales estimates for the 2018 fiscal year below Wall Street's consensus and expressed some concern about high iPhone prices. Kvaal now projects that Apple will sell 221 million iPhones in the current fiscal year, which ends in September. Analysts tracked by FactSet predict 223 million iPhones sold on average. Apple sold 217 million in its 2017 fiscal year. Kvaal sees "further signs of trouble at the high end of the market" and wrote that the market "may no longer tolerate rising ASPs." He added that local manufacturers in China seem focused on mid-tier devices.

<p>The two largest exchange-traded funds to track Russia's equity market fell on Monday, extending a recent stretch of weakness. The VanEck Vectors Russia ETF fell 0.6% while the iShares MSCI Russia ETF was down 0.9%. Both were on track for their fifth negative session of the past six, although both are solidly higher for the year. The iShares fund is up 8.1% while the VanEck ETF has gained 7%. Over the weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin won re-election by a wide margin, as had been widely expected. Putin will start a new six-year term at a time of sharply deteriorating relations with Western adversaries, who accuse him of military adventurism in Ukraine and Syria and hostile attacks ranging from election meddling to attempted assassinations. Russian stocks, while positive thus far this year, struggled throughout 2017, ending up among the year's worst performers, based on single-country funds. U.S. crude futures fell 0.2% on Monday while Brent crude, the international benchmark, was down 0.2%. Russian stocks are highly correlated with the price of oil. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.9% on Monday while the S&P 500 was off 0.9% and the Nasdaq Composite Index fell 1.3%.</p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.

<p>Shares of Arista Networks Inc. are down 4.4% in Monday morning trading after Deutsche Bank analyst Vijay Bhagavath downgraded the stock to sell from hold. Bhagavath also lowered his price target to $195 from $245. He points to "volatility in product orders" as well as his expectations that 100G switching orders will be weaker than anticipated. He also worries about the competitive landscape, writing that "a resurgent Cisco [Systems Inc. ] has been proactive in securing 100G Switch Router design wins at major cloud providers, and at enterprise multi clouds." Bhagavath also predicts a deceleration in revenue growth this fiscal year. Shares of Arista Networks have gained 118% over the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 has risen 15%. </p><p>Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.
